What we do

The Alternative Energy Task Force believes that strong and efficient alternative energies are essential to the economic vitality and livability of the competitive attributes of the Paso del Norte Region. Through the advocacy and support of both public and private sector initiatives that attract energy manufacturers, developers and researchers, we can leverage the long term competitive advantages of the region.
